The Old Bethlehem School Cottage, once a one-room schoolhouse, now features 3 bedrooms, a bath, large, fully equipped eat-in kitchen, and living room. It is tastefully decorated in charming Americana style. The basement underneath the schoolhouse contains connections for a washer and dryer. Guests enjoy watching the morning sunrise and the evening whitetail deer passing through the meadow from the deck out of the kitchen’s French doors.
Miss Carris’s Cottage features a fully equipped, large eat-in kitchen with rustic hardwood floors and authentic barn board paneled walls. The large living room features a spreading bay window across the south side of the room. A full bath with a shower is conveniently located downstairs. The upstairs features one large open bedroom, with wood cathedral ceilings, wood laminate plank floors, a toilet stall and a pedestal sink. Guests can sit on the east porch and watch the deer pass in the evening, or the sunrise in the morning above the picturesque hills of Shawnee National Forest. The sunset is beautiful in the evening from the southwest porch.
The Boys’ Room is a small apartment attached to the north side of Miss Carris’s Cottage. It contains a bedroom; a multi-purpose room with a sofa, t.v., microwave, sink, and mini-refrigerator. Guests love the enormous bathroom containing a washer and dryer. It is decorated in wildlife motif to please the numerous hunters coming to hunt the forest and Bear Creek Farms hunting grounds. Guests at The Boys’ Room enjoy their own private porch and parking area.
The cottages sit on 20 acres of meadow and woodland, with scenic views of the hills of Shawnee National Forest at a distance. A 35’ X 50’ metal storage building is included with the two cottages and 20 acres of land.
Nestled in the hills of beautiful southernmost Illinois in America’s Heartland, our cottages attract families and friends gathering for reunions from all directions of the USA.
